Ryan there on W.N.C. We're joined now by Christine Quinn who in addition to being the

president and CEO of Wynne the largest provider of shelter and supportive

services for homeless families in New York City.

She was booked to talk about the pushback on some of the homeless shelters around the city originally

for this segment, but besides being a former city council speaker and

mayoral candidate she is the executive committee chair of the New York

State Democratic Committee which automatically makes her a member of the

National Committee and a delegate to the Convention.

So with the news, we'll start there.

Chris Quinn, always good to have you on the show.

Welcome back to WNYC.

Thank you.

Do you want to share your thoughts first about President Biden's decision to quit the campaign? Thank you the right? That said, you know, it's a little, it's sad, right?

He's had such a tremendous career, a fighter for the underdog, a fighting,

fighter for the working class class and to see his career end on this kind of down

equality and then a little bit forced Obama to be for marriage equality.

But that said, I hope there will be a real effort to give him what he deserves in the sense of

tributes and accolades as he exits the White House because he hasn't been really a great president and a transitional

president who took the country from a very unfortunate and dangerous and hateful time

under Trump when he was president.

You as a delegate to the Democratic National Convention,
